I think the radio ROM version was the issue on my phone then...

If I had done what you did, I wouldn't have had to send it away for service!

My radio ROM was older. I still can't get too far away from the phone before sounding like a Cylon, but it is way way better than it ever was.

And Mango makes the Bluetooth work so much harder that it would have been supremely frustrating to have it not working right!

Thanks for the ROM version post!
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scuttlemonkey2:
Hello,

I have an i9000 and would like to upgrade the firmware. There is lots of information out there but I'm finding it very confusing; there seems to be many methods, gotchas, fixes etc that depend on what firmware you already have.

My phone is:

*i9000 with 2.2

*Phone: ADJP6

*PDA: ADJP3

*CSC: O2UJP3

*Not Rooted

* Sim UNLOCKED

* Network LOCKED

What I would like to do:

- Make a 1:1 backup of the current firmware incase it all goes tits.

- Flash the latest 'official' leaked rom

- Try out some custom roms (particularly Darky's 9.1/9.3b)

- maybe cook some roms of my own

I'm quite happy using odin as I have used this in the past with my i7500, but any method that works will be fine.

What do I need to do to make a backup and flash a firmware without bricking my phone?

Many Thanks in advance!
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DamianGto:
We'll you need to flash a custom kernel.

There you can make a full backup.

Use titanium or mybackup to make a backup on your apps.

Then you can do what you want.

I have CM7 nightly built 7 and I want to install the eViL's Q&D MIUI 1.2.4 r1b - Now with EXT4 & FFC FLUFF on my MyTouch 4g, the rom requires ClockworkMod 2.5.1.4

and EXT4 can someone help me downgrade my recovery to 2.5.1.4 ( i have 3.0.0.5 ) what do I have to do to downgrade it?
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neidlinger:
Download Clockwork ROM manager from the market, scroll to the bottom, "all clockwork recoveries" and flash the one you need.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TrueBlue_Drew:
There is no real 2.5.1.4 for this phone. Evil put that and I am not sure why. All it does is misinform people. You need a recovery that does ext4 and that would be 3.0.0.5 or 3.0.0.6. You are fine using the recovery you have or you can flash the zip in my sig for 3.0.0.6 if you want the latest recovery.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RavenWulf:
thanks for clearing that up man, I've been wanting to try out his version of MIUI, but the "requirements" he listed threw me since I couldn't find 2.5.1.4 anywhere and every time I would try to flash it from ROM Manager it would come back as an error. guess I know what I'll be downloading and playing with when I park the big truck tonight for the weekend.

EDIT: side note - since your 3.0.0.6 supports EXT4 does that mean we can use DarkTremor's A2SDEXT mod? yes I know this may be a dumb question but if you don't ask questions you can never learn anything new.

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TrueBlue_Drew:
There isn't a 2.5.1.4 recovery for this phone reguardless of what Koush put in the app. That menu is in all versions of Rom Manager. If you download and flash the recovery that evil lists in his MIUI rom as 2.5.1.4 it is actually the oldest version of 3.0.0.5 (1-16-11).

Not a dumb question at all but I dont have a good answer for you. I havent even checked out DT A2SDEXT mod for this device. I dont think it is really needed with the amount of internal memory we have. I have 73 apps installed and still have 0.87GB of available space. Wish I could give you a better answer for that one.

side note- aren't you from the slide forums? Or am I just trippin?

no you ain't trippin, I was on there a lot before. I still pop in every now and again (wife still has just the slide).

[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] HanMedSverd:
I've tried searching in the forums, but no luck..

I've installed CM6-v3.1 on my phone, and now it seems that the backlight on the pull-out-keyboard always is on? (as long as the phone's not at standby) It drains my battery.. :( Any ways to fix this?

Also, I wonder if it's possible to get the key-setup fixed for the pull-out-keyboard?

It's now in English, and I have an Norwegian phone..

Then I have 3more letters in my alphabet (æ-ø-å), which means I have some extra keys on it.. The keyboard is messed up with the signs, but not the letters and numbers.. f.inst. : my dot button (.) and the '':'' button now shows ''?'' and ''!'' ..

My ''æ'' button shows dot (.) and '':''...

See my point ? I think I just need the Original SE ''pull-out-keyboard'' file to replace the CM file? If, how do I get it?

Please answer my first question first, as that is more important to me ;)

Thanks! :D
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] owain94:
the keyboard light is a quick dirty fix coz we have bigger bugs to solve now i fixed it that way for now

and don't panic the led almost don't eat battery mike and i will look into it after fixing the bigger bugs :)

and please reflash make an backup in xRecovery flash se firmware back

then please copy the /syetem/usr folder and sent it to me (pm) and i will fix your keyboard :) (i thougt it was the same as swedish (try to flash that one first) if it dont work sent me your usr folder)

after you sent it you can place your floyo backup back :)

[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] hansip87:
i have the same problem here.. Not just about killing battery owain, but it reduce our own visibility of the keyboard characters itself when we are on the bright room.. Maybe there's a generic fix that we can apply by ourself if that's quite easy for us?

Well anyway if it's easy to fix then i guess you must be already bundling it on the next version ;) Thanks so much for the hard work. :D
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] owain94:
if you really wanna turn it of do this in root explorer

put a "0" in "/sys/devices/platform/msm_pmic_misc_led.0/brightness" file and save it now your led is off and if you want it on again just put a 1 or any number above 1 in the file it is quite simple lol

im trying to get it nice fixed in the CM settings but that kinda hard so when i fail at that i will try another way bash script i guess
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] drsood:

Ok, I got a little confused in there.. Im really a noob so ;

* Reflash to CM again? And then make backup.

* Then flash to SE fw. and copy ''/syetem/usr'' (< u mean system right?)

* Then flash back to CM again, and w8 4 U fix 4 me?

(About the SWE. Keyb. : Sweden have 3 letters 2, but it's not the same symbol.. :S Then I'll probably get the key-setup right, but it will input the swedish letters?)

Thanks 4 the help! :) (I dont rlly care about the backlight, just wondered ^^)

P's, I did take backup in xRecovery b4 starting with CM (and thats the 2.1-update1 version..). Is it possible 2 find the file in the backup? or i can send u the backup? Then I wont have 2 reflash.. ;)

starting from the above minimal procedure, you could customize as you want (else trigging from light intensity) the keyboard led behaviour...

widget

I'll be the first to admit that I'm a noob. But it seems to me that if you can switch it at runtime with a command it would be fairly easy to make a widget for the switching right?

That way you can manually select at any moment whether you want the light to be on or not. (Possibly working together with the solution above to automatically switch it off when the keyboard isn't out.)
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] liquidsk:
In-deep-taskin'

In Tasker you have the ability to "link" the keyb-light-on command to the keyb-out state, aswell to "link" the keyb-light-off script to the keyb-in state (or as exit task)...

BUT

you could also make the command on + off on exit task (keyb-in) LINKED to a variable determined by an external condition (external LIGHT intensity):

in simple words:

hi tasker, i would like to have my keyboard backlight on when i slide out my physical qwerty but only ***IF*** the ambient light level is not enough to make me easily identify the buttons, then, please tasker, turn off the light when I close my qwerty if before you have turned it on.

To achieve this behaviour, just check the ***If*** box by editing the execute command in the created task (keyb-light-on when keyb-state=out) to set the If variable. Select as variable **Light level** (%LIGHT) and link it to a math **Condition Operator** like "less than" (<) then put the desired percentage of ambient light below which (in this case) the command keyb-light-on triggered by keyb-out state will get executed. Remember to also create an exit task with the keyb-light-off execute command (obviously without setting the **IF** variable).

Note:

On tasker, the first time you use the %LIGHT (light level variable) you should expose your device first a while in a dark place, then a while in a WELL lightened place. Do that in order to allow tasker to set properly the on-off border working conditions to internally understand light sensor datas

Hope that could help.

Any doubt --> post here

best regards,

respect!
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] ctalcant:
can't get that %LIGHT to work. what percentage do you have it set to?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] liquidsk:
o

..mine is usually set <30 but keep in mind that some kind of percentage in tasker is influenced by its first impressions.. try till find what better fits your needs..

*** I suggest you also to verify if your light sensor is working in a right way (you could test it in a simple way using an app called "Z-Device Test") ***

Hope this could help!

respect!

similar problem

I have an opposite to the problem described.

My keyboard backlight is always off, no matter it is pulled out or not. Dunno how to make it turn back on when it is pulled out. so at night, i can't read the characters on the keys.

Anyone have ideas?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] desmobedo:

Can anyone help me??

thx!
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] JDRX:
Thanks for the explanation, adding the light level variable to it makes it a very elegant solution indeed. However, me being a cheap ass, I don't like spending money on tasker. Especially since I'll only use it for this, which will probably be fixed in the future.

And since the combination of those two programs can do it, it should be possible to create a "simple" apk that can do it as well. Unfortunately I'm a very new at programming for Android, so it's difficult for me to create an app for this. But I imagine some more gifted and experienced coders would have no problem to create an app with this functionality.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] avlopp:

Me myself have the exact same problem as rccr, my backlight is always of since I flashed my device, and i've benn lurking around in the phone trying to find what the problem is but hey what do you know, no dice.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] JDRX:
I tried to create an app that could switch on the keyboard backlight, so I wouldn't have to buy tasker. However, since I'm a n00b, this is hard for me...

I managed to get detect it when the keyboard slides out and the light intensity, but for some reason it doesn't seem to execute the right command/the command doesn't work.

When I input those commands through an adb shell it does work, so it seems it doesn't execute the commands, but I don't know why.

Here's my code:

package com.x10mp.KBLight;

import java.io.IOException;

import android.app.Activity;
import android.content.Context;
import android.content.res.Configuration;
import android.hardware.Sensor;
import android.hardware.SensorEvent;
import android.hardware.SensorEventListener;
import android.hardware.SensorManager;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.widget.TextView;

public class KBLight extends Activity {

private TextView tv;
private SensorManager mSensorManager;
private Sensor mLight;
private float light = 0;

/** Called when the activity is first created. */
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

setContentView(R.layout.main);
tv = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.testText);

mSensorManager = (SensorManager)getSystemService(Context.SENSOR_SERVICE);
mLight = mSensorManager.getDefaultSensor(Sensor.TYPE_LIGHT);

if (mLight == null) {
tv.setText("No Light Sensor!");
} else {
mSensorManager.registerListener(lightSensorEventListener,
mLight,
SensorManager.SENSOR_DELAY_NORMAL);
}
}

SensorEventListener lightSensorEventListener = new SensorEventListener(){
@Override
public void onAccuracyChanged(Sensor arg0, int arg1) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
}

@Override
public void onSensorChanged(SensorEvent arg0) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
if(arg0.sensor.getType()==Sensor.TYPE_LIGHT){
light = Float.valueOf(arg0.values[0]);
}
}
};

@Override
public void onConfigurationChanged(Configuration newConfig){
super.onConfigurationChanged(newConfig);

boolean kbOut = getResources().getConfiguration().hardKeyboardHidden==Configuration.HARDKEYBOARDHIDDEN_NO;
int i = (kbOut)?1:0;
tv.setText("Keyboard = " + kbOut + "\nLightstrength = " + light);
String[] commands = {"su","echo " + i + " >> /sys/devices/platform/msm_pmic_misc_led.0/brightness"};

try {
Process process = Runtime.getRuntime().exec(commands);
tv.setText("Light set at " + i + "\nLightstrength = " + light);
} catch (IOException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
tv.setText("RUHROH! ERROR:\n" + e.toString());
}

}
}

P.S. I did give the app SU permission, so that shouldn't be the problem afaik...

Anyone know what I am doing wrong/why the light doesn't go on?

Once I get that working I can start to work only switching it on when the light sensor reports low light conditions. And then I can see how to make it run in the background so it will function at all times :)

(And by that time Owain will probably have fixed it and a dozen other things and pointed his finger and laughed at me, but I'm mostly doing this for fun and for the practice :))
